This is a little comic I'm currently working on!
the story depicts two main characters, being two girls living underground together in a heavily surveillanced facility run by strange men known as the Men in White Suits. This place contains many monstrous creatures, and that includes our main characters. They are tested on, tortured, and analyzed by the Men in White Suits.
Our first main character is known as Wendy, or that was her given name upon birth, at least. She is otherwise known as Subject #16332 among the Men in White Suits. She is an unkempt and unnaturally shaped human being, if you can even call her that. She has enormous claws that could pierce and tear through flesh with ease, as well as more animalistic features such as a tail and horns. she is known as the most... Wild of the other subjects. She is an absolute lunatic, and will refuse to calm down unless in the presence of her "best friend," Belle.
Speaking of Belle, it is time I introduce our second main character. Belle is the daughter of the head of the Men in White Suits, and is since treated as royalty among the facility. She gets whatever she wants, and if anyone defies her best interest, she will throw a devastating tantrum that could quite literally cause the eardums of the subjects in the facility to burst. Because of this, she is mainly kept away from ths subjects, but that doesn't stop her from sneaking out of her dad's office anyway. Because of her little adventures, she came across Wendy. This monstrous being immediately took a liking to Belle, and they have stuck to each other's side since.
This is pretty much just a work in progress, but I'll be sure to work on this more!!!
Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son.
*****
Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
